Agreed that I hope they hand off the reviews of this show to someone with an open mind next season. I often feel, after reading Vikram's review, that I've been watching a different show entirely. Plus, he continues to fail at spelling "Benabibs." Lose the goddamned apostrophe, Vikram!

Gosh, thanks for that spoiler with absolutely no warning! Many of us here are only watching the show on AMC, and have no idea what's planned to happen in a future season. Be a little more considerate!

Not just anyone can post their photo and become listed as talent at IMDb, but anyone who bothers to register can add / correct information for a production. So if you know that your favorite "Hey it's that guy" played a character named Joe Blow on an ep of some show, but they have it listed as a character named "Joe

What does the show having aired three days ago have to do with it if it *wasn't in the show*? That's my point: it was apparently on the website, not on the show, so it didn't air: thus, it is a spoiler.

Wow. I'm nearly certain this hasn't been mentioned in the show, and now two posters have spoiled it here without any warning. And here I was thinking / hoping that was one more mystery of the season, albeit one not too many people were talking about.

Great analysis, especially the Blade Runner connection (can't believe I missed that!), but you do have one thing wrong: Mr. Robot *has* used the endearment "son" when talking to Elliott. I can't swear what episode it was in, but I remember hearing that and saying "HA!" out loud to the TV. Which means it has to be

I doubt "Trenton" is either her surname or her first name. It's probably a nickname.

Agreed, it's even better worse than Zoo!

It makes even less sense that the top bankers in the country would willingly go to vampire plague town AT NIGHT. I rolled my eyes so hard at that I nearly sprained them!

I'm a woman and I wouldn't lock my own home's bathroom door even if I was having a party and had a whole house full of people. Most ordinary non-evil human beings, seeing a closed door, would knock first.

Angela was trying to clear out a place to sleep in what I assumed was her old bedroom. Her father had piles of papers in there, statements and mail and the like. She found bills that indicated that her father was past due for a lot of money, payable to…Evil Corp., of course. Just more evidence helping to paint a

Manspreading, of a sort. Yeah, I noticed that in the subway scene in the pilot, too.

I thought Bellrose or maybe Canarsie.

The point being, at the end of six months without food and in a northern winter, the people *outside* Winterfell's walls would (likely) be dead.

I really love season 4's poetic opening the best.

I would personally love some Clash. I think Heaven 17's "Penthouse and Pavement" could be used to great effect. But the one that's really gnawing at me is Gary Numan's "Are Friends Electric?" For a Mail Robot montage!

The A.V. Club
"When observed through a nihilistic lens, ultimately makes a horrific sort of sense."

Of course he hates the Annie Lennox version; it's the inferior version. What he needs to listen to is the original, by The Lover Speaks.

Thanks, all. When Eliz said she'd first spotted the Versailles hours before, I thought she meant *before* their arrival at the open house. This makes more sense now.

Something I haven't seen in any review, or discussed in any comments thread, and is driving me *crazy*: why were Eliz. and Phillip being followed? I think it's clear from Stan's scene after the slow-chase — where he says to Aderholt something like "These people are hard to get" — that they thought they were following
